Bob Dole Hospitalized
Longtime senator and 1996 presidential candidate Bob Dole has been hospitalized because he's sick. "He is at Walter Reed not for a checkup," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor Tuesday. "He is there because he is infirm. He is sick." Dole has been trying to overcome a leg infection for three years, the Associated Press reports. The former Kansas senator is 89 and was seriously injured in World War II.
